Ukraine crisis: Ukrainian prosecutors seek a life sentence for young Russian soldier accused of killing an unarmed civilian




Ukrainian prosecutors are reportedly seeking a life sentence for a young Russian soldier accused of killing an unarmed civilian.

21-year-old Vadim Shishimarin is charged with shooting an elderly man dead. The young conscript pleaded guilty to the crime and went as far as asking the widow for ‘forgiveness.’

Kremlin sources claim to have ‘no information’ about the trial, essentially abandoning the young man to his fate.
